The Schweigert Legacy

Ray Schweigert opened his first retail store, specializing in fresh and cured meats, in North Minneapolis during the spring of 1937. Ray had a very singular goal — to make the best tasting, highest quality meats.

Word spread quickly about the superior taste and rich, full flavor of the Schweigert Meats brand.

It was there that Schweigert stayed for 33 years, growing to serve generations of customers across the entire Midwest.

Today, Schweigert Meats is owned and operated by Bakalars Sausage Co., located in La Crosse, Wisconsin. And though Ray is no longer running the show, his motto, “Schweigert Makes It Better,” still holds true today with the guaranteed quality and tradition found in every Schweigert Meats product.
